The Doctor looked up from his place at the Tardis's console to where his two companions were standing, watching him work. "Amazing. Your spell really fixed everything up, Joey." The khajiit smiled bashfully, then asked, "So. You said we'd go off on an adventure. Where do you think we'll go?"
"Actually, I was hoping we could explore this place some more. Go on a grand trek across- What was it you said this country was called?"
"Skyrim."
"Well, a grand trek across Skyrim, then. No timey-wimey stuff right now. I want to see more of this planet right here and now. Ooh, it's been a long time since I went hiking! Is there much more forest around here, or are there more towns?"
"Well, there are several towns and cities around here, but they're kind of far off. It should take us a little under a day to reach Riverwood from where we are now, longer if it starts snowing."
"Great." The time lord grinned in an insane fashion. "Donna! We're going on an adventure!"
"Wait, you mean we're going now?" Jo'riir asked, incredulous. The Doctor nodded excitedly, so fast it seemed his head was going to snap off of its place on his neck. "We're going to need supplies," said the khajiit. "Food, water, blankets, weapons, maybe some firewood. This late in the day, we'll have to spend the night somewhere. Thankfully, the last time my mother took me there, she showed me a small cave big enough for five people to sleep in." She rummaged around in the leather bag she was carrying before pulling out some cozy-looking clothes. "I would highly recommend you find something warm to wear. Those clothes you two have on aren't going to keep you warm on a mountain like this." She nodded at the Doctor's suit and Donna's shirt and jeans, then headed into the Tardis to change. A few minutes later, she emerged wearing a long-sleeved tunic, thick brown pants, a tan hooded cloak, and leather boots. The Doctor, then Donna, did the same, packing on cozy clothes, then headed out to help gather supplies.
A few minutes later, everyone was ready to go. Jo'riir pulled a map out of her bag, then slung the bag over her shoulder along with a bundle of blankets. "What are we going to do with the Tardis?" she asked.
"Simple." The Doctor said. "I'll put her on autopilot to go to the cave you said we would stay in, then put a perception filter over her so nobody notices her. What are the coordinates for Riverwood?"
"What?" the khajiit asked, confused.
"May I see the map? I need to find out where to put her so we meet her in town."
"Of course. Just please return it when you're done. That's our only form of navigation you're messing with." She said cautiously. Before she had finished her sentence, the Tardis doors had slammed shut. Not twenty seconds later, the Doctor emerged again with a triumphant grin on his face, holding the map aloft. He walked over to Jo'Riir.
"I like this map." He proclaimed with the manner of a four-year-old who had just received a cookie. This is a great map. So many mountains! So many castles! Can I have a copy?"
"Uhm…"
"Come on, you two! She's going to leave soon. It's time for an adventure!" he leapt up in the air, beaming like a star. He shouldered his bag and looked expectantly at the khajiit. "Let's go!" As they headed off, Jo'Riir heard a strange whooshing sound. Looking behind her, she saw the blue box fading in and out of existence, making that sound all the while until it was gone. She wondered for the first time that day if she was going insane.
